AIA Leadership Institute Overview
Leadership Institute is a one-day leadership training event for architects and emerging professionals, bringing together visionary speakers on leadership, both inside and outside the profession. Now in its fourth year, this training experience leverages technology to connect AIA Components and engage AIA members in a shared leadership training experience. The program attracts new and veteran leaders, and emphasis team building through regional and national conversations with peers.

Using a hybrid delivery platform, the Leadership Institute coordinates five simultaneous regional meetings to participate under the umbrella of one broadcast. The live audience for each regional meeting is between 50 and 100 participants. Past programming has included:

• leadership best practices and how to apply them in professional, industry, community, and design settings
• a network of local and industry leaders who are changing the leadership dialogue in architecture
• relevant content for your career and professional journey
• leadership resources, including a free digital copy of Living Your Life as a Leader, a reference guide and workbook that will support your personal leadership development during and after the event
